My mother died about 9 months ago, then it was Molly on Nov 12, the same day a friend of mine that I knew for 50 years died, and on Dec 13, King went too, almost the same way Molly did. He was doing ok, then on Sat, he did inhale the food off my plate when I gave it to him. On Sunday, he seemed...

I put Molly down Monday morning. I'm not sure what happened to her. Late Sat night, I was about to leave for work and I walked into the bedroom and she was doing something with her right front foot, like she was shaking hands. Her eyes were strange, darting back and forth. I said her name and...

This is my old dog Gus, who died of 14+ of prostate cancer. We never knew what he was exactly, except mom appeared to be a nice looking APBT, so this is just for grins. Under that Golden Retrieverish coat was a darker brindle undercoat. The color of the coat you see was actually almost the same...

So I had a broken out screen on my porch and with winter coming, I needed it replaced before something gets inside the house. I've got all kinds of problems since I was hurt a couple of years ago, so I hired the kid next door to help me out. We went out there and King comes out too. I tell him...

It's kind of eerie, but he does seem to be able to tell. We have a woman at work who has cancer of some kind, not sure what kind it is, but she's going to be undergoing a second series of chemo treatment soon. When King sees her, he whines, very loudly, like Lassie did on the old "Lassie" TV...

King has been the healthiest dog I have ever had, and I knew his being bulletproof would end one of these days, but not quite this way. He's put on a bunch of weight over the last six months. I thought it was odd that at almost 11 when I first noticed it, as he was as active as ever, and I also...

King is going with me to work most days now. He seems to enjoy it, and he's pretty laid back for the most part, with one major exception. There's one guy who sets him off. About half the time, he barks when this guy returns from the bathroom or kitchen, and growls at him, and stares at him. He...

Finally, it looks like the press is wising up to this clown! toledoblade.com -- Hopefully, it won't be too much longer until he's a bad memory. He's an embarrassment.

After a really bad year for poor Molly, coat and ear wise (She had to have surgery to drain a hematoma, and to prevent a new one), she looked BAD. Her ears were half bare, as were her eyerims, and she had baldish patches on her side with shiny blackish skin under it. She was scratching like...

On December 23, King and Molly will be 10 years old. It seems like it was yesterday when I saw them for the first time, in the little house where 8 of the thirteen pups in the litter were bouncing off the walls. The rest had found homes at that point, and I wondered why King, about as friendly...

Since I got hurt, and King began jumping the fence, his time outside had dropped drastically. The kid next door isn't able to take him for a long enough walk (An hour, minimum, is what he needs), so I started thinking about doggy day care again. The last time was a total disaster, and I honestly...

We dog owners here in Lucas County, Ohio have had to suffer under Tom Skeldon, the local dog warden forever, it seems. Famous for his stupid comments, fixation on Pits, and generally for getting his job because of who his father and uncle were, and probably keeping it for the same reason. When...

I had to have knee surgery recently, and I had to board my dogs, so I took them to the place where I have boarded my dogs for the last 25 years. I had no problems previously, but the longest I left any of them there was about a week. It's Karnik Inn in Waterville, Ohio. I brought King and Molly...

Well, the King visiting the neighbor's yard saga has become something more than just kind of a hassle. He went over there on Friday, and Jake was there, as usual, sulking, and looking like King is the most disgusting piece of garbage ever born. I'm not far behind King, as far as Jake is...

King loved to torment my old cat, Orville, when he was a pup, until Orville had to be but down at almost 17. He is totally fascinated by cats, but hadn't really had much contact with any, except for a couple of Feral ones that had become treed by King and Molly. Luckily, they Molly never got...

King and Molly are 8 and a half years old now, and doing quite well. The next door neighbor's have three mixed breed dogs, two females he is friendly with, and a male he isn't too friendly with, Jake. Jake is very jealous when any male dog approaches his two "girls", and he has gone after King...

http://www.threedog.com/pawticulars/entrees.shtml I bought this when King was recovering from his anal sac removal surgery, and was pretty miserable. He and Molly love it. It was at Kroger's and was on sale for $1.99 a pouch, it's normally $2.69. King is a pretty picky eater, and I was shocked...

Well, now that it's all over (I sure hope so, anyway) It wasn't THAT bad, I guess. About the late fall of last year King developed an infection, a bad one in his left anal sac. It seemed to resolve itself after a course of antibiotics and irrigation. About a month later, it came back, worse...

Well, I should have known better, but I tried, and it went as badly as I thought it would.. King's seven now, officially upper middle aged, at least, and seems to have very slightly mellowed over the last year or so, so I decided to see if maybe, just maybe, he could go to doggie day care, and...

Well, I went to the grocery store and took the dogs with me. I come back home and King goes out in the yard, like he usually does after a ride. I hear him and Jake, one of the dogs next door barking, they sound really upset. I figured their two days of renewed friendship was over and they...
